How can I test if a home fragrance will irritate my airways?

To test if a home fragrance may irritate your airways, start with a small amount of the product. Apply a bit to your skin and leave it for 24 hours to check for redness, itching, or swelling. For a direct test, use a small amount in a well-ventilated room. Place a small amount of oil in a reed diffuser or spray the fragrance once, then stay in the room for 10-15 minutes. Look for signs like coughing, sneezing, or throat irritation. If you experience symptoms like difficulty breathing or increased mucus production, this may indicate airway irritation. If you have asthma or allergies, consider consulting an allergist before trying new home fragrances.
